The kitchen has bespoke fitted cream shaker style units and central island with black marble worktops. There's a black and white Amtico tiled floor that reaches from the grand entrance hall.
Galleried landings on both the first and second floor make the most of the sea views as do triple aspect bedrooms and balconies reached by French doors. There's a Fired Earth roll top bath, marble tops in the bathrooms, and a monsoon shower and wetroom.
OUTSIDE: Approached through an electric metal gate to a drive with a parking and turning area. A path leads to the front door. The landscaped gardens are predominantly south facing and include a secluded courtyard area with mature planting. Steps lead down to another attractive seating area and the garage with vehicular access from Cliff Road.

LOCAL AREA
A charming and beautiful town, the long and wide pebbled beach is one of the town's selling points and it's one of the few places to have a pub on the beach.
You’ll be walking on water when visiting “The Street”, this amazing shingle spit in Tankerton, measures about half a mile and at low tide allows you to walk right out to sea. Add in the multi-coloured beach huts and it makes for a perfect summer paddle.
There’s history, too, take a look at the castle, which was once known as Tankerton Towers and was the residence for the Pearson family in the late 1790s.
The charming Harbour Street has an eclectic mix of art and craft shops as well as independent retailers. Community events, art galleries showcasing work from local artists, as well as the local theatre also thrive here.
Food and drink are celebrated, too, particularly the oysters, which have become world famous for centuries.
And, if you want to take in the local scenic views, a walk or cycle along the Crab and Winkle Way is perfect for families and cyclists of all levels, even beginners. Just over seven miles, along the disused railway line, it’s a traffic-free trail from the harbour to Canterbury and has lots to see along the way, including Blean Woods Nature Reserve. Don’t have a bike? No need to worry as there’s plenty of rental opportunities.
Residents and visitors will love the many wonders of Whitstable!
